This tool could be useful for structural and civil engineers who need to integrate calculations directly into their engineering reports. At just $5.00 per month, it's an affordable alternative to Mathcad.

Yes, that's always the problem with engineering. If your work is not checked there is the risk that errors are not noted. I always (try to) write my reports in a way that it could be checked by an external reviewer. And my reports often are reviewed (and off course the reviewer has comments :( )

I do my math in Word (Calculate in Word Add-in), so I don't have to copy and past the math. Output from other programs, like RFEM I do have to copy and paste.
For me it's really important to have an efficient workflow. The copying and pasting of the Mathcad results into my Word document is to much of a hassle.
